For the attention of Mr. Childs. Dear Sirs, We have pleasure in confirming our telephone conversation of yesterday afternoon, with reference to the "Roco" Sleeving called for on your Order No:16279. As explained, we have unfortunately, no sleeving of 3/4" diameter, and upon enquiry we find there will be extreme difficulty, and a long delay in getting this from our outside suppliers. As we have a quantity of 5/8" diameter sleeving in stock, however, we are, as arranged, sending you 10 yards of this along and this will be despatched in a day or two, when the water proof 'dope' has been applied. Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED. Technical Sales Department. | ||
